NaNoWrimo

HEY EVERYONE. I know it's the end of summer and all that, and I am going to re naming this blog soon as avintagewinter2011.blogspot.com, what do you think? There's no point in starting a new one because then I would loose my awesome followers. All 3 of them. ;)

Anyway, I am writing this blog post for a VERY special reason, I have probably mentioned Kristina Horner before on here, if I haven't, she is a vlogger on Youtube who I LOVE. www.youtube.com/user/italktosnakes and she told her views, including me, about this thing called NaNoWrimo. It's basically National Writing Month in November, and you have to WRITE A WHOLE BOOK IN A MONTH. Which is insane. I have never tried it myself before, but this year I'm giving it a go. Kristina says its stressful and so does Luke Conard, another youtube person. But you get a brilliant book out of it at the end. NaNoWrimo set a target every year and this year it is 50,000 words. So if you get to that much or more, then you win. But if you DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT, then 30,000 or even 10,000 would do, as long as you tried. It's better than not bothering at all. I have homework and GCSE stuff to do as well so I probably won't get up to that. But if you DO want to write 50,000 words then you have to make time for writing, as you will need to do quite a few words in a day. I'm going to try to aim for 50,000 but my parent's say school work comes first, and of course it does. NaNoWrimo is not an excuse not to do homework, even though that sounds very appealing.

So if you would like to give NaNoWrimo a try this year, which I URGE you to do if you love writing like me, then go to the website www.nanowrimo.org and find out more. You can also watch Kristina's videos about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1ssR41XKVI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGRDik-e8zg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMStVL4GCLY&feature=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhs-yodZJcw&feature=relmfu

There are all the videos. The music video is awesome. Also, I'm looking for writing buddies for the month, so make sure you Twitter me if you want to be my buddy or want some advice about NaNoWrimo or just want to chat. My Twitter accounts will be listed below.

GOOD LUCK FOR THE PEOPLE DOING NANOWRIMO THIS YEAR.

Summer Update: Films, Summer, Boys, Harry Potter...

Well hello. I have not written on here in a long while. I am sorry. I have been sunbathing in America. Which is nice enough. But I'm pleased to be home. California was awesome, I saw Beverly Hills, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, the whole lot. To top that off I also went to BUFFALO. And Toronto in Canada. Yes, I am a very busy girl.

So my shopping in America was good. Well, in Canada I bought some skinny jeans from Hollister, half price, about $35 I think. Amazing price. And then in America I did a whole shopping spree in Forever21, which is a clothing store. I bought loads of cute dresses. Then I got some nailpolish from OPI. Which is the BEST brand for nailpolish. I got a sparkly blue colour. I think thats it.

I am also extremely busy this week, I am starting my Little Shop of Horrors workshop. Which I am Ronnette 3 in. This will be fun, and hopefully there will be some cute guys there too. I will update you guys on that front when I come to it.

FILMS. Films have been my life this summer, I have seen HARRY POTTER. Which was AMAZINGFABULOUSFANTASTICLOVELYGREATEMMENCE. I liked it. Basically. And then I saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Which wasn't that great, but Tom Felton was in it (Draco Malfoy) and I LOVE HIM. And then today, I went to the cinema with my cousin and we saw Super 8, which I highly recommend, it was sooo scary but amazing too. We were going to see The Inbetweeners Movie but unfortunately that wasn't possible. I had a movie marathon yesterday too, and I watched Pretty Little Devils, which is weird and freaky. So I don't recommend that one too much. Also, Horrid Henry is out, this might be sad, but I want to go and see it just because it was the first book that I read purely on my own.

ALSO I have a new Twitter account specially for Harry Potter, it is called: italktohedwig and I also have a youtube account now called the same thing. Follow me and subscribe on both pleeease.

And on other news. I have recently been very obsessed with a certain girl called Kristina Horner and her friend Luke Conard. From Youtube. They do wizard rock (Harry Potter themed songs) but make it sound amazing! Also, I fancy the guy from Super 8. His name is Joel Courtney. He's fit. So's Greyson Chance and Cody Simpson. I'm a bit boy obsessed at the moment. Sorry. Okay, I'm going to shut up now and I'll see you soon. If you want to come back that is.

A Special Post for Sam Beeton

Hey again everyone, I don't usually do two posts in a day, but this is for a special reason. There is a guy called Sam Beeton, who I recently heard about on www.sugarscape.com and he is SUPER awesome! If you like folk, pop type music then check him out! www.sambeeton.com and you can join his mailing list and get a free song called Rain Down On You, which is amazing. And he's got a special club called the Record Club where he sends out a CD every month, and maybe something extra. I'm just about to subscribe to that, its £12.99 for a year, which is a great deal. But if you don't want to do that, just check out his music. It's worth a listen! Thanks for reading!
